Yeah. So, this is the new name for the JSFDays conference sponsored by Irian Solutions, which does MyFaces' training consulting, and lots of other JSF consulting work. Today, I'm here with Werner Punz. Werner is a big MyFaces' committer, and also works for Irian. So, why don't you tell me a little bit about yourself.
Werner
Well, I work mainly as a consultant for Irian. And I basically joined the company over the MyFaces project. I think it was about five years ago, or six years ago. My work in MyFaces itself is mainly the JavaScript part, currently, and also the Extensions Scripting project.
Kito
Okay. Anything about your client work? What sort of clients do you guys work with?
Werner
Well, I basically am assigned to tasks currently within the Credit Suisse, which is a major client for the Irian Company.
Kito
Alright. So, you've been working with extension scripting, and I guess the JavaScript portions of MyFaces. So you obviously have an interest in other -- or non-Java languages.
Werner
Yes. I have a huge interest in non-Java languages. I don't know when it started and how it started but as for the JavaScript part, over the years I became entrenched deeper and deeper into the language itself. I think the turning point was around 2005 or so. Before that, I thought, like many people, that JavaScript itself is just a simple language, where you could do just a little bit. And then, I think the turning point was when I first saw the Prototype library.
